5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) “De Oppresso Liber”

Ok so I know we were absolutely driving like maniacs but it was a f*ck around break

Buddy and I were racing (as you do) and he ended up being a bit of a menace. I had to dodge TWO other drivers back to back, somehow saving my cargo (0% to trailer or cargo somehow at the end of this) AND saved from wrecking whilst watching my buddy basically die and take out a couple cars at the same time. One of the more hilarious and butt-clenching moments I’ve been through lol back to realistic driving!!

Buddy came to me with a really tight budget, and needed something that would handle Arma and Forza Horizon at 1080p. Had this case in my storage unit and decided to use it for the Arma vibes. Under $800, whatcha think? Specs below. I was gonna go Ryzen 5 5600 and eke out a 3070 Ti but he also wants to do some sim stuff and stream. I also could’ve been a bit cheaper on some parts but wanted to make sure I found quality stuff that would last a while. I also recommended a Radeon RX 6700 XT which I would have been able to find in-budget and sneak a lead on the 3070, but he wanted Nvidia’s feature set.

I work for an MSP and my boss gave me the task of seeing if I could fix three UDM’s he had in storage. All were pulled from clients back in the UnifiOS v1.x days, after failing to boot up with corrupted firmware.

I was able to SSH into each one, identify the original firmware version, download it from Ubiquiti’s website, and get them all working again; two Pro’s and one SE.

I ended up getting all three fully working; one of the Pro’s has a bad LCD controller board, which isn’t reporting to the main board properly. Apparently the controller reads as a USB device that isn’t enumerating or going into DFU mode properly; thus, stays stuck on the “Est. Time Remaining 5 min” screen with a loading bar that won’t actually load. Turns out it’s just a cosmetic issue; the UDM itself is actually fully booted and functional. I can’t find a replacement LCD controller board anywhere, and it’s also missing its drive sled, so my boss let me keep it for myself! He’s happy enough to have a fully functional Pro and SE in inventory now, so this one is a gift :)

My personal router is a UDR6 I’ve been using for years, and is starting to have that issue that requires a physical reboot occasionally; I’m now going to replace it with a proper small rack, and put up a U6-Pro that my boss sold me for $79. I’ve wanted a UDM Pro for a long time, so this is a huge score for me!! Gonna put my desktop and my NAS both on 10Gbe DAC connections now.
